It's must viewing. It tells viewers what they most need to know. It
does so accurately, thoroughly and truthfully. It's too important to
lose. It's targeted for that reason.

Doing so manufactures consent. It's a euphemism for mind control.
In 1917, George Creel first used it. He turned pacifist Americans into
raging German haters.

Alex Carey studied corporate propaganda. He inspired others to do
so. His book titled"Taking the Risk Out of Democracy: Corporate Propaganda versus Freedom and Liberty
said:

"The twentieth century has been characterized
by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy,
the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda
as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy."

State-sponsored propaganda works the same way. Americans
are the most over-entertained, under-informed people anywhere. They
believe most anything they're told ad nauseam.

Months of on and off jamming preceded Eutelsat's announcement.
Its own charter obligates it to "adher(e) to the principle of non-discrimination
and fair competition in defining its strategy and carrying out its operations."

Michel de Rosen heads it. He's CEO. He sits on corporate
boards. From 1996 - 1999, he was a French Ministries of Finance and
Defense official.

Its Arabic news channel al-Alam was banned from Eutelsat 8 West A.
Its general entertainment English and Arabic television network iFilm
was pulled from Eutelsat 21-B, Eutelsat 25-C, Hotbird 13-B, Eutelsat
7 West A, Intelsat 20, and Optus D-2.

Its al-Kawthar channel was taken off the satellites Eutelsat 8 West
A, Eutelsat 7 West A, and Galaxy 19.

Intelsat admitted acceding to US pressure. Israel exerts its own.
Its US lobby controls Washington. European operators lied. They claimed
they're abiding by anti-Iranian sanctions. They don't apply to Iranian
media.

Media expert Nader Talebzadeh said:

"A new voice that gives alternative views (and) alternative debates
with high-caliber critics of the West from the West is a sweat, and
thatís why they want them to be off the air."

Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression;
this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and
to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media
and regardless of frontiers."

Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights states: ď

"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right
shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information
and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of
frontiers."

Media activists call attacking Iranian media an assault on free expression.
America's First Amendment protects it. Without it all other freedoms
are at risk. It's too important to lose.

Press TV viewers reacted. One said its targeted for "expos(ing)
Western powers' hypocrisy, injustices, atrocities, and all other issues
they don't want the world to know."

Another said "Press TV doesn't toe the line. How many times have
you said America is great and god's chosen country? Anyone who disagrees
with the American narrative is wrong at best. They are intentionally
blind to the truth."

A further comment stressed Zionist influence. Its "propaganda
machine" doesn't want its lies exposed. "Whatever happens
worldwide, if deemed unfortunate to the case of the Zionists, it is
not mentioned at all."

National Union of Journalists head Dominique Pradalie criticized EU
censorship.

"The National Union of Journalists, which I represent,"
she said, "supports freedom of expression and free access to information."

"Censorship is fine only if someone is trying to violate someone
else's human rights, but here that's not the case at all."

"We must be vigilant against all types of censorship. Citizens
have a constitutional right to have access to foreign media sources.
It cannot be prevented."

Kevin Barrett co-founded the American Muslim Political Action Committee.
He's an author, radio host, and former university lecturer.

He said "(l)et's face the facts here. (Treasury's) Office of
Asset Control was handed over to a bunch of hardline neoconservative
arch Zionist Likudnik radical Israeli partisans."

They were "given carte blanche authority by the US government
to go after Iran in an all-out monetary and ideological war."

They're "trying to shut down the free flow of ideas back and
forth between the West and Iran. If they have nothing to fear from Press
TV, al-Alam, and other Iranian channels, this wouldn't be a problem."

"It's a case of egregious hypocrisy these people endlessly blabber
on about free speech and democracy." They tolerate none of it at
home or abroad. They want truth silenced.

"The real issue is that Iran uses soft power." It does so
through television and other communications. It "gets the truth
to" Western audiences. Doing so "mortally threatens"
Zionist lies and distortions. Its response is "kill the messenger."

Free-flowing information is fundamental. People have a right to know.
Modern technology makes it possible. Western subversion won't work.
Truth won't be silenced. It's too important to lose. Without it, all
else is lost.
